The heavy rain in Yangzhou has aroused the worries of many people of insight and ordinary people.

In this era, there will be no weather forecast, and in the face of torrential rains, there is a sense of the end of the world, and at the same time I feel the horror of God.

If it is the same rain as the previous year, even if it is only half of that year, with this tinkered water conservancy project, I am afraid that it will also be unable to resist the flood, and the flooding of the seven mansions will be repeated again.

It is said that Jiangnan is rich, but in fact, it is also based on a good harvest year. Now the imperial court's finances are stretched, the emperor is obsessed with repairing Xuan, and the water conservancy facilities in the south of the Yangtze River are increasingly in disuse.

Once another flood in Jiangnan is encountered, countless families will inevitably go bankrupt, or sell their remaining land to the squires to survive, or leave their hometowns to find a way to survive, and their situation is not much better than that of the people in other regions.

But I don't know whether it is God's mercy, or the begging of hundreds of thousands of people to move the heavens, on the fourth day, Yangzhou City finally ushered in a sunny and good day.

As if everything had disappeared, Yangzhou City was like a colorful picture scroll, and pairs of beautiful women and talented people appeared on the painting boat on the Xiaoqinhuai River.

Of course, these joys have nothing to do with ordinary people.

They toiled every day to "work at sunrise and rest at sunset", hoping that there would be no floods in the following May, otherwise this year's hard work would not only be in vain, but also their livelihoods would become a problem.

On the second day of the banquet, he knocked on the door of the door to ask for a pledge of silver taels, and then personally inspected and formulated a plan for the construction of Slender West Lake, and finally recruited ordinary people to carry out construction.

"You can settle in Jiangdu County!"

"Eat three meals a day to ensure that there is fish and meat!"

"Considering that you still have a small family, there is a subsidy of ten cents a day!"

……

When Mazhi County gave the people living around Slender West Lake a promise of residence and wages, the young people there signed up one after another, and it seemed that they were actively participating in this major project.

In fact, many people know in their hearts that once Slender West Lake is developed, they will also benefit from it.

Ma Chuyuan was not a greedy person in the first place, and Lin Haoran was staring at Yangzhou, so he didn't have any greedy thoughts, so he put all his energy into doing these specific things.

When he saw the lives of the people here improve, seeing them smile from the bottom of their hearts, and praising themselves behind their backs, he got more satisfaction than 50,000 taels.

If he said that he had hoped to promote this matter in exchange for Lin Haoran's promotion through hard work, he had no idea at all at this time, and only hoped to honestly do this great practical thing that was beneficial to the people of Jiangdu County.

After many discussions, the plan for the development of Slender West Lake was released.

First, a two-carriage parallel blue brick road was built from the north gate of Yangzhou City to connect Slender West Lake, then a dam was built around Slender West Lake, then two new bridges were built in two narrow places, and finally the silt in the lake was cleaned up.

This project is not a small project, but with a sum of 53,700 taels and the active participation of the local people, it is believed that it can still be successfully completed.

Once the Slender West Lake is so developed, then Yangzhou City will have one more scenic spot, and it will definitely become the yearning place of countless literati in the Ming Dynasty.

After Lin Haoran handed over the matter to Ma Chuyuan, he didn't interfere in this matter again, and he didn't even look at it anymore. In addition to the fact that he believes in Ma Izuyuan, it is because he has a more important matter to deal with.

"Lin Fu, go and bring Zhang Wuhen over!"

When the sky in Yangzhou City had just cleared, Lin Haoran was dealing with some official documents in the office of the Salt Inspection Yuan, but he suddenly commanded Lin Fu lightly.

"Yes!"

Lin Fu's eyes lit up slightly, and when he left in a proper manner, he led a few people directly to the death row of Yangzhou Mansion to bring the prisoner Ye Wuhen.

For this case, Lin Haoran has a certain amount of public opinion pressure. If he can't find out about this case, I'm afraid it will really be stained, and then it will become an obstacle for him to enter the cabinet and worship the prime minister in the future.

It's just that he has never been a rash person, and he has long had doubts about the essence of this case, but it is just to clarify some things, so it has been delayed until today.

From the day Lin Haoran entered Yangzhou City, his every move was being monitored.

Lin Fu went to Yangzhou Mansion Prison to interrogate Zhang Wuhen, naturally he couldn't escape the eyes and ears of people with a heart, and the news was quickly fed back, and soon spread all over the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City.

"This Lord Qincha really wants to use Chen Xiaoxiao's case to rectify He Zhifu!"

"I don't think so, there are indeed some strange things in this case, let's wait and see!"

"Yes, I heard that Chen Xiaoxiao and Zhang Wu have fallen in love as soon as possible, and those gold, silver and jewelry are actually for redemption!"

"This is a big case involving human life, if Lord Qincha can't move, then who will be there in the future to show the snow for the wronged person?"

……

With the news of Lin Haoran's sudden interrogation of Zhang Wuhen, it immediately became the hottest topic of discussion in some public places such as teahouses and restaurants in Yangzhou City, and many scholars participated in it.

It's just that it's different from the first time, but this time there is no one side who blames Yu Lin Haoran, but many scholars choose to support Yu Lin Haoran, thinking that this case is boring.

As Lin Haoran raised more than 50,000 taels of funds for Slender West Lake, he won the favor of many Yangzhou scholars, so it also made Yangzhou scholars look at this matter more rationally.

Although there are still He Dongxu and others behind him to guide public opinion, the public opinion in Yangzhou City no longer blames Yu Lin Haoran one-sidedly, but has generated more and more controversies, and even some scholars have fought for this.

After learning of these circumstances, He Dongxu and others once suspected that Cao Meng had helped Lin Haoran. It's just that after their careful investigation, it was found that although the children of the Cao family did favor Lin Haoran, they didn't seem to be working hard behind it, and everything seemed to be the spontaneous action of Yangzhou scholars.

At this time, they finally knew why Lin Haoran had the name of "Lin Operator" and why he suddenly proposed to develop Slender West Lake. Dare to love him through this fundraising move, so as to win the support of Yangzhou scholars, and then let him successfully overturn the case for Zhang Wuhen.

"Seriously...... Good strategy! ”

He Dongxu thought that he had seen through Lin Haoran's tricks, but he gritted his teeth with hatred, and even invited Li Yu and Xu Yi to discuss countermeasures with these two comrades again.
